Loki (One Shots)

Its All That Matters

Loki lifts his head up, terrified.

He looks up at the statue of Kang. They messed it up. She messed it up. He knew there would be consequences. He knew it would change everything.

He does understand her though. He knows it's not easy to let go of a lifetime of anger. He knows she needed it. But he also knows she is miserable right now, if she did it. She held onto her revenge her whole life and now, she has no purpose. She now has time to think, probably something she's been avoiding her whole life. She has time to process everything. She has time to grieve her family, her lost childhood. Every emotion she's been avoiding her whole life must be crushing her. He wants so bad to reach out to her, help her.

But first, he needs to get rid of these variants or whoever they are. As much as he wants to know what's going on in here, he needs to reach Sylvie first. He has no idea how he's gonna do it but he needs to start somewhere.

He tries to think. He doesn't have his powers which sucks. It would be a lot easier to just snatch the tempad from B-15 and transport somewhere.

He turns around. Mobius and B-15 are watching him closely, not sure what to do. Loki wants to trust Mobius and tell him everything. He was nice to him once and he seems nice right now. But he can't take the risk. Not with Sylvie. And he also needs to find the Mobius he knows. He can't let his only friend go. Mobius does annoy him with how accurate he always is about his assumptios of him but he actually cares about him. He's one of the few people he can trust. And he's the only one who can see right through his games. As much as it makes him uncomfortable, he likes the fact that someone can actually see through his facade. Even though he feels safe behind his walls, he only has them cuz he has to. And it's good to be seen sometimes.

Loki looks to his right and sees the other agents coming their way. The ones B-15 just called over. "I'm sorry I just... Mobius, right? I need to talk you. It's urgent!"

Mobius looks at him, and then at B-15 and then at Loki again. "Okay. Fine. But first, are you sure you're okay? You seemed freaked out."

He shoots a glare at the agents that are waiting for orders, now standing right next to them. He gestures for them to step away

"Yes, I'm perfectly fine, thank you. But we need to talk."

"Okay, tell me then."

"I need to talk to you. Only you" he casts a glance at B-15. Yes she helped them. Well, the other her helped them. Or maybe this is still them but without their memories. He can't think about it right now. All he knows is he doesn't trust her. He doesn't trust him either.

"No." says B-15.

"B-15, its okay, its just a tal-" "No! We don't know who this is." she interrupts not caring in the slightest. Mobius sighs and takes her arm, they walk away from Loki.

"Look if he meant harm, he'd just do it while we were distracted. He looked terrified and I think he needs help. Just.. let me do the talking. Okay?

"Mobius! N-"

"Please just.. let me talk to him!"

"Ugh, fine. But be quick!"

"Okay give me a few minutes"

He walks back to Loki and leads him through between the shelves. They get to the other part of the library. "Okay. Let's tal- Hey are you okay?" He suddenly lurches forward and catches Loki before he falls. "Yeah I just... I had a long day."

"Okay, well, do you wanna sit down?"

"No, I'm fine. What I wanted to tell you was, a variant escaped and Rslayer says he was your responsibility. And I would like to add that the variant hates you after he found out you were the one to catch him. You need to go find Rslayer. And I need to go get a team together and catch the variant. He's one of the dangerous ones. Go. Now!" And he walks away quickly, not giving Mobius any time to think.
